Hi, Emperically you can take anti inflammatory medicines like paracetamol + diclofenac combination drugs twice daily for 3 days. If symptoms persists, then please consult with your doctor and get evaluated. You may need an antibiotics in case of infection. None of them are prescription medicines, so I would advise you to consult with the doctor and get evaluated.
